Edibles like squash, peppers, and sweet potatoes thrive in the warm weather, while fresh herbs and leafy greens can provide continual harvests. Don't forget annual flowers such as marigolds and sunflowers, which not only enhance the aesthetic of your garden but also attract beneficial insects. Zinnias and cosmos add vibrant colors to your outdoor space, creating a lively atmosphere.
